Tablets & big screen mobiles are a common commodity in this age. The amount of processing power these devices pack in have led to rise of increasing use of these devices for purpose of photo editing & even video rendering. There are tons of apps in the Play Store which deal with adding effects(editing) photos on the device without the need of a PC but very few offer to order photo prints from mobile/tablet.

One of the app which offers to send your prints from your digital photos is “Photo Prints” by Zoomin. For the unknown, Zoomin provides an online platform to order printed photo-books, mugs, calendars etc. The Photo Prints app for now works on the Android & Windows platform on mobile devices. A launch offer entitles a user to order twenty five(25) 4”x6” Matte or Glossy prints or 50% off on 8”x10” prints again in Matte or Glossy finish.

The Consumer Electronic Imaging Fair 2014(formerly known as PhotoFair) is back in Mumbai starting 9th January till 12th January 2014. I attended the photo fair today & had a really good time.

I entered the Photo Fair as an AIPTIA member & that meant I got into the thick of the action very quickly. Outside the exhibition hall, scores of people queued up for registrations. Being an AIPTA member allows you special privileges & one of it being a special entry point to the Photo Fair exhibition hall.

I did it, I successfully & honestly completed the 365 Project yet again for the second year on the trot. For those unaware, I had successfully completed 365 Project in my debut year(2012) & then resumed it in coming year 2013. Now as 2013 is done & dusted, so is my 365 Project for the year 2013.

Compared to 2012, 2013 – 365 Project went really smooth. Yes, there were days of mediocre photographs but thankfully they were few. Keeping the camera along always has helped me get good photographs & there have been days when I’ve been spoil for choice as to which one to upload. Its a problem of plenty & good to have. I’m grateful to all those souls who patiently waited for their meal as I was taking the food photograph at the restaurant, to the people who gave me their best as they faced the camera for my portrait, to those who supported me & my project even in difficult times. I further feel proud to know that I’ve inspired people to take up the 365 Project. There is no bigger joy than this. It keeps me going!

Surely, 2014 will present challenges of its own. Life is only going to get busier as responsibilities increase for me. However, once again I’ve begun with my 365 Project for the year 2014. Let’s see how I fare this time. Just a photo each day – simple as it sounds but having completed two years(and taken an oath not to repeat same photographs) will definitely make the project challenging. It would be great to have your support this time too. The place remains the same. Thank you.

2014 is here. I’m glad to know you’ll are here. I appreciate the support you have been imparting here on ShutterTux. As a small gift, I’ve created a desktop calendar for 2014. The calendar contains some of my best photographs. Download it, Print it, Spiral bind it & you’ve your desktop calendar ready. May it fuel you to photograph more in 2014.

For 2014, I wish all of you a healthy, wealthy & successful year. May all your desires come true. Stay blessed. :)
